Ten-Minute CBT / SuperDoc

Our most popular one-day combination

Next session:  Wednesday, XXX, 2022 (12:00PM to 3:30PM Eastern)

Earlybird deadline:  Friday, XXX, 2022 at 5:00PM Eastern

By popular demand, we're again offering the combination of two of our most practice-changing workshops in a convenient one-day format: Ten-Minute CBT and SuperDoc. Both are three-credits-per-hour, for a total of 18.0 Mainpro+ credits for the day. 

The morning's Ten-Minute CBT assumes that appointments are ten minutes or shorter in duration. As such, the focus is exclusively on those tools that are highly practical and efficient. The afternoon's SuperDoc workshop is a treasure-trove of scientifically‐tested CBT tools to increase personal resiliency. SuperDoc is for the benefit of the physician—and the physician's patients and family and friends.  

Although the workshops are ideally taken together for 18.0 Mainpro+ credits, they can also be taken individually for 9.0 Mainpro+ credits each.

Powerfully useful tools for patient care—and for self-care.

YES, "good enough" CBT can be integrated into ten-minute primary care appointments. In this three-credits-per-hour workshop, Dr. Greg Dubord and senior CBT Canada faculty teach you the essential skills that may fundamentally change your management of many vexing behavioral problems. 

You’ll learn flexible medical CBT tools to enhance your existing approaches to common psychiatric disorders (e.g., addictions, anxiety, depression), chronic medical conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes, chronic pain), and disease risk factors (e.g., obesity, lack of exercise, poor stress management). 

First we review the epidemic problems of patient immaturity & empathy addiction, and the VOIS technique for managing non-compliance. Then we examine how to pinpoint the pathogenic beliefs (cognogens) at the root of common emotional and behavioral problems. We continue on to explore the missing piece in most practices: the core clinical skill of persuasion. 

Although every physician will reply that s/he knows persuasion is a core clinical skill, few can name and describe which specific tool(s) of persuasion they’re using at any given moment. The common consequences are patient stagnation and unnecessary physician frustration. 

1. Learn to structure ten-minute appointments to maximize impact

2. Acquire a "deck" of tools of persuasion with broad clinical applications

3. Learn the vital importance of not working harder than most patients

Pithy pearls... my work in the clinic would have been way easier if I'd had this training back in medical school.

Today’s cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a treasure-trove of scientifically‐tested tools to help physicians increase their resiliency and reduce their risk of burnout. Physician wellness is important for countless reasons, including that it significantly determines the quality of care delivered (CMPA, 2018). Simply put, the burned-out doctor is probably a crappy doctor. 

Sadly, the burned-out are also at risk for Premature Clinician Aging Disorder (PCAD). PCAD isn't just the result of a heavy caseload and long hours. PCAD is also predicted by one's psychology. 

Happily, state‐of‐the‐art CBT includes a collection of powerful techniques for silencing self‐criticism, decreasing rumination, letting go of the past, increasing self-compassion, improving decision‐making, optimizing time management, boosting mindfulness, and making a marriage spark joy.

PCAD is not inevitable: you don’t need to age faster than the required rate (unless you want to).

Please join CBT Canada faculty for the fast-paced & practical SuperDoc module. You’ll emerge from this three-credits-per-hour workshop equipped with versatile CBT tools to boost the functioning and improve the mental health of your patients, your family, your friends—and the ongoing project called “you”.

Note: This is a serious workshop that even saw-wielding orthopods can relate to, with nary a mention of yoni steaming or herbal colonics, and there are absolutely no group hugs.

The head instructor for the day is Greg Dubord, MD, the prime developer of medical CBT. He has presented over 500 workshops, including over 50 for the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and is a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. Dr. Dubord is the CPD Director for CBT Canada, which received the National CME Program Award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada for providing "exceptional learning experiences”.
